Nikki B.
Instructor
With a focus on pedagogical approaches and somatic-based work, Nikki Byrd has trained in figure skating, dance, and pilates for over a decade. She spent the majority of her somatic training in Santa Ana College’s dance department, and obtained a Bachelor’s in Fine Arts in Dance from California State University, Long Beach. Nikki increased her awareness of the body by studying the Pilates movement system closely, and became certified with a Dance Emphasis from BASI Pilates under the guidance of Karen Clippinger.
Since becoming certified, Nikki has worked closely with clients all over Orange County, and is very excited to be a part of the Club Pilates Villa Park team. With a style described as a combination of classic and contemporary approaches, Nikki aims to bridge the gap between every day activities, a traditional gym setting, and the intricacies of the pilates movement system. Nikki is eager to share her passion, and send her clients off with a “pilates glow” to conquer the rest of their day.
